A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

/dev

while all the warpcast infra crumbles (and 3rd party clients too) it is perfect timing to remind my infra philosophy

keep infra simple, move as much computing as possible on client, vertically scale backend as much as possible before going horizontal

"Crumbles"
Warpcast actually been quite good given it's jumped to top 50 globally in social networking

Your simple blog site takes over 6 seconds to re-render a chart on subsequent refreshes. Not a good example for CSR. I respect your dedication to OSS but I don't think SSR has anything to do with any of this

that's because this website is ssr ser

also, yes, crumbles

Most warpcast users are from the iOS app where SSR is not relevant.

Even if they were all using the website, to think that having a massive influx of users and experience degraded performance can be solved by not doing SSR makes 0 sense

but we all know you can't ever change you mind because you're simply incapable of it (as most humans)
